THE AMAZING BALANCING ROCKS OF ZIMBABWE
I approached from the western side
And behold, I saw an amazing image.
At first I thought it was a flying boat.
At close proximity, it turned out to be nature:
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
I then went round the balancing rocks.
From another position, it was a big boot.
Quite ready to take a walk in the park,
Where other balancing rocks gaze.
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
Just a distance from this stunning figure,
I see what appears to be a howling dog.
Facing into the sailing clouds above,
You cannot mistake nature's creation
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
There in the distance stands a figure.
I see a likeliness of a frightened puppy
Standing on top of some balancing rocks.
It's looking down to find its way down
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
Down the plain, a gathering of balancing rocks
Listen attentively to the presiding officer.
He is a dominant figure issuing instructions
To make sure no one disturbs the peace
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
One of the listeners appears quite timid.
It looks like none other than the rock-rabbit
Ready to jump from one rock to the other.
Just to prove it is among its own kind
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
There in the distance against the skyline,
You cannot doubt the presence of the triplets.
They reveal nature's grandeur in majesty
They display a jovial lot from the same womb.
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
Through the thick bush of the Savannah,
I can see a resemblance of a riding bolder.
Clouds overhead sail quietly across the blue sky
As a photographer captures this scenery.
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
The precise placement of the balancing rocks
Looks like the Biblical Queen of Sheba
In full glare of any passers-by to admire
While a photographer focuses from tall grass
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
The dark grey figure with big hanging jaws.
You can hear the growl of a squatting dog.
It looks like it's waiting for a bone to chew
Who can challenge nature's own creation?
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
The clear sight hovering against the clouds.
That's unmistakably a huge spacecraft
Sitting on a lounging pad ready for take off.
Art reviewers may argue if such a scene exists
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
The smell of burning wood fills the nostrils
It's coming from one of the dwarfed huts
They stand there among the rocks in silence
While a sequence of the artist's brush reveals
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
The mind cannot conceive how these rocks came to stand on top of each other.
The gallery visitor may be forgiven to think this is all fantasy.
One is fascinated by how geological events have created this awesome wonder.
It looks like the last moment of creation and the placement of rocks that's natural.
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
An artist sits with his brushes and paints ready to do justice to the scenery.
He sees clouds make their formation like cotton wool from a barrel.
He can imagine only the pleasure of painting these sceneries.
As he sketches the images, he marvels at creation.
He finishes his artwork with colourful paints that reveal
The amazing balancing rocks of Zimbabwe.
